Which among the following is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way?
Answer: A
Among the galaxies listed, the Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way, at about 2.5 million light years. The Triangulum Galaxy is a little farther, at about 3 million light years, and the Sombrero and Whirlpool galaxies are much farther, at tens of millions of light years. Smaller dwarf galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud are closer, but they are not offered, so Andromeda is the answer among the options.
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are about 160,000 and 200,000 light years away, which is why questions on the nearest galaxy name the choices.
